After completing a residency in pediatrics and one in preventive medicine at Johns Hopkins, I started a practice for my neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2007. People would visit my website; see my Google calendar; choose a time and input their symptoms; my iphone would alert me; I would make a house call; they'd pay me via Paypal; and we'd follow up by email, IM, videochat, or in person.

Fast Company calls me The Doctor of the Future. I've got a design and consulting firm called The Future Well. Read more about me here.

  • Twitter is the new trucker hat.

    I have been getting a ton of Twitter spam lately…i mention a word and I get an immediate tweet back trying to sell me something, 90% of people who have followed me in the past week are worthless bots, or people just trying out twitter and will never log in after tomorrow.

    Due to Twitter’s limitations with appeal to people who aren’t geeks, function, and profile quality, it seems it’s losing its appeal to its core audience as it moves into the mainspamstream…sort of like trucker hats and other things that arrive in the malls of America two years after being made cool in NYC.
